...part of the reason so many African Professionals shoot the Krieghoffs is that Krieghoff offers them to the PH's at a VERY reduced price...about half of what you or I would pay...for this very reason--people see the PH with a Krieghoff and wow, another sale is made.
Interesting but maybe not true... I´m a South African PH since 1986 - I didn´t get a "very reduced price". Krieghoff knew that I´m a PH, there was not reduction in price whatsoever. Had to pay the full price for my Classic Big Five!
Duckworth, Jösch, Daffner, Dedekind, Katzke, Vermaark, Ochsenbein, Greef, Loubser, Thormallen, Prinsloo, Dorrington. Do you really believe these PHs are using a Krieghoff double barrel because they got a huge discount? There must be another reason...
Per my sources it is true--was told that by one of the PH's in camp in Zim in June of this year. Once stateside I called my contact with Krieghoff out of Florida --and she did confirm they DID have a program for PH's and the price was slightly less than $7000. US --for a new Kreighoff...so to answer your second question---YES, I do believe that would have a substantial influence in the choice when purchasing a double gun..
